A multicenter prospective randomized controlled study on the timing of laparoscopic cholecystectomy after percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage for grade Ⅱ-Ⅲ acute cholecystitis / 中华肝胆外科杂志

Objective:To study the optimal timing of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) after percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) for grade Ⅱ-Ⅲ acute cholecystitis.Methods:A multicenter, single blind and randomized controlled study was conducted at Shanghai Fifth People's Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University, Shanghai Pudong Hospital, and Shanghai Minhang District Central Hospital from October 2018 to September 2021. Patients who underwent LC after PTGBD were divided 1∶1 into the early group and the late group. LC was performed 4-6 weeks after PTGBD in the early group and 7-8 weeks after PTGBD in the late group. Gender, age, AC grade, complications after PTGBD, body mass index, complications before LC, operation time of LC, intraoperative bleeding, total treatment cost, conversion rate to open surgery and complications after LC were compared between the two groups. The 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) before and after LC was also compared.Results:Of 248 patients who were eligible for the study, there were 52 males and 196 females, with ages ranging from 18 to 89 years, and mean ±s.d. of (52.5 ± 20.2) years. There were 126 patients in the early group and 122 patients in the late group. There were no significant differences in gender, age, AC grade, body mass index and complications before LC between the two groups (all P>0.05). The preoperative score of SF-36 in the early group was significantly better than that in late group, and the complications of PTGBD in the late group were significantly higher than the early group (both P<0.05). The operation time and total treatment cost of the early group were significantly less than those of the late group (37.2±12.8 min vs. 48.5±19.7 min, 20 856±2 136 yuan vs. 2 2207±2 049 yuan) (both P<0.05). The intraoperative bleeding volume of LC in the early group was [ M( Q1, Q3)] 40 (40, 60) ml and the late group was [ M( Q1, Q3)] 35 (25, 40) ml. The difference was also significant ( P<0.05). There was no significant differences in the conversion rates to open surgery, complications and SF-36 scores after LC between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion:LC should be performed 4-6 weeks after PTGBD for grade Ⅱ-Ⅲ acute cholecystitis. Although the amount of intraoperative bleeding was higher, the operation time was shorter, the burden on patients was reduced and there was more rapid recovery.

Objective To evaluate the effects of sevoflurane on neurogenesis in hippocampal den-tate gyrus(DG)of mice with Alzheimer′s disease. Methods Thirty-six SPF male APP∕PS1 mice, aged 8 months, weighing 30-35 g, were divided into 3 groups(n=12 each)using a random number table:Alzheimer′s disease group(group AD), oxygen group(group O2)and sevoflurane group(group Sev). Another 12 wild-type mice served as control group(group C). In group Sev, 30% sevoflurane was in-haled for 2 h once a day for 3 consecutive days. The mixture of air and oxygen was inhaled in group O2. Morris water maze test was performed on 22 to 28 days after the last sevoflurane inhalation. Then the mice were sacrificed and hippocampi were isolated for determination of doublecortin(DCX)positive cell count (by immunohistochemistry)and neuronal nuclei(NeuN)∕5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine(BrdU)and glial fi-brillary acidic protein(GFAP)∕BrdU positive cell count in hippocampal DG(by immunofluorescence). Results Compared with group C, the escape latency was significantly prolonged, the percentage of time spent in the target quadrant was decreased, and DCX, NeuN∕BrdU and GFAP∕BrdU positive cell counts were reduced in AD, O2and Sev groups(P<005). There was no significant difference in each parameter between group O2and group AD(P>005). Compared with group O2, the escape latency was significantly prolonged, the percentage of time spent in the target quadrant was decreased, and DCX, NeuN∕BrdU and GFAP∕BrdU positive cell counts were reduced in group Sev(P<005). Conclusion Sevoflurane leads to cognitive decline through depressing neurogenesis in hippocampal DG of mice with Alzheimer′s disease.

Objective To evaluate the effect of long?time mechanical ventilation on early postoper?ative inflammatory responses in the hippocampi of mice. Methods Forty?eight healthy male C57BL∕6 mice, aged 8-10 weeks, weighing 20-25 g, were divided into 3 groups ( n=16 each) using a random number table: control group ( group C) , operation group ( group O) and long?time mechanical ventilation after operation group ( group MV) . Open reduction and internal fixation was performed after tibial fracture was induced in O and MV groups. Group O inhaled isoflurane for 6 h after operation. The mice were me?chanically ventilated for 6 h under isoflurane anesthesia in group MV. On 1 and 3 days after the end of ven?tilation, 8 mice were randomly selected, and contextual fear conditioning test was carried out to assess the cognitive function. The rate of time spent freezing was calculated. Then venous blood samples were collected and hippocampi removed for determination of the levels of interleukin?6 ( IL?6) , tumor necrosis factor?al?pha ( TNF?α) and IL?1β in plasma and hippocampal tissues by enzyme?linked immunosorbent assay. Re?sults Compared with group C, the rate of time spent freezing was significantly decreased, and the levels of IL?6, TNF?α and IL?1β in plasma and hippocampal tissues were significantly increased after the end of ventilation in group O ( P<0.01) . Compared with group O, the rate of time spent freezing was significantly decreased, and the levels of IL?6, TNF?α and IL?1β in plasma and hippocampal tissues were significantly increased after the end of ventilation in group MV ( P<0.01) . Conclusion The mechanism by which long?time mechanical ventilation leads to early postoperative cognitive dysfunction is related to induction of in?flammatory responses in the hippocampi of mice.

Evaluation of neoadjuvant chemotherapy efficacy by the expression of cyclin D1 in human breast cancer / 肿瘤研究与临床

Objective To evaluate the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) by investigating the expression of cyclin D1 in human breast cancer before and after NAC.Methods Eighty-four cases of breast cancer were diagnosed by core biopsies.The expression level of cyclin D1 in cancer tissues was measured by immunohistochemical envision two-step method before and after NAC (pirarubicin and docetaxel regimen for 3-4 cycles).Results Complete remission (CR) occurred in 4 cases of 84 patients (4.76 ％) with 2 pathological complete response cases,partial response (PR) in 54 cases (64.29 ％),stability (SD) in 26 cases (30.95 ％) and no disease progression (PD) patients.The positive rate of cyclin D1 in cancer tissues [65.48 ％ (55/84)] was significantly decreased after NAC [39.29 ％ (33/84)] (x2 =11.55,P =0.001).In clinical level,the ease rate was significantly improved in patients whose cyclin D1 expression switched from positive [86.36 ％ (19/22)] to negative [45.45 ％ (15/33)] after NAC treatment (x2 =9.359,P =0.002).Conclusion NAC significantly decreases the expression of cyclin D1 in breast cancer tissues.Meanwhile,the ease rate is improved when cyclin D1 expression switched from positive to negative after NAC.Therefore,cyclin D1 expression can be used as an evaluation index for the efficiency of NAC.
